panasonic hvx 200
i shot at 1080i 24p. it imports into final cut at 29.97. fine.
i shot at 720 24p. it imports into final cut at 23.9….
how do i get the pull down out of the 720 24p “footage” so that it pops back up to 29.97 so i can edit it all together?
thank you very much, in advance!

Well, first off, 720p isn’t a 29.97 frame format…it is a 59.94 (60 progressive frames) frame format. The only way you can get 720p 29.97 is to shoot 720p 30pN.
If your 720p24 footage was imported at 23.98, that indicates that it was shot at 720p 24pN…meaning that 24 ACTUAL FRAMES PER SECOND were shot. Normal 24p is 720p 59.94 will pulldown to make it look 24p…while it is running at 60fps. 59.94 and 29.97 intercut well, actually. BUT…that isn’t the case here. You cannot get 29.97 out of the 720p 23.98 footage…6 frames are missing. Best thing to do would be to take the footage into Compressor and convert there. Put all the settings at BEST in the Frame Controls.
Unless Jeremy G. differs his opinion on the settings. He’d be the guy that knows that best. He’ll post soon.

shane,
thank you so very very much!
i did make sure, however, to not shoot 24pN as i knew i was not importing at progressive, although i had thought 24p meant 24p… i discovered on this camera it does not.
it does import with a pull down, into fcp, as it says so, as 23.9…
is this weird?
sincerely,
jaenet
